I don't know about you but I just went with Timbuk2 Commute messenger laptop bag. It works well for me and fits my 15" PB plus additional stuff like magazines, pens, a book, some DVDs, and keys. I'm going to take it with me soon as I go on my trip. I'll put it in good use. I am thinking whether I should buy an extra battery if I want to watch a DVD while I'm in the air. It's hard to find good laptop bags for 17" monster! :spook: I hope you find something you like and in a good use.
